This book is a nonbook. Rather than assume the obvious, act as if it were an exotic piece of nature that has just floated on shore your desert island. Take it up with a blank mind and you will be taking a first step towards changing the level of your ordinary existence. Its all and everything and you’re the explorer of the fragmented i’s that haunt your inner landscape. Your guide is a Gurdjieffian adept who speaks from his essence, ‘no teacher i’. Manuscript and author are intimately laced together in a set of internal relationships with life that produce unintended consequences, the unexpected turns of thoughts and feelings. No follower of a mechanical method of awakening, Gustave Ridley is an eighty year old master of instant theatre punctuating reality with short verbal blasts that sweep away the frozen postures of a lifetime.
